The Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) of the Thai Ministry of Commerce announced that Thailand's total exports will increase by 12.9% year-on-year to 339.64 billion US dollars (approximately 11.14 trillion Thai baht) in 2025, reaching a historic high, and the overall performance of foreign trade is strong.

During the same period, Thailand's total imports reached 344.94 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth rate equal to exports, resulting in a trade deficit of 5.31 billion US dollars. Looking at December alone, Thailand's export value was 28.93 billion US dollars (approximately 931.3 billion Thai baht), a year-on-year increase of 16.8%, achieving year-on-year growth for 18 consecutive months. The growth momentum mainly comes from electronic and electrical products, which is in line with the global demand for technological upgrades and artificial intelligence related products; On the other hand, agricultural product exports continue to decline due to the impact of natural disasters and intensified global competition.

Looking ahead to 2026, TPSO expects Thailand's export growth rate to slow down, constrained by external factors such as potential US tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and the appreciation of the Thai baht. However, global demand for technology and artificial intelligence products, increased demand for food security, growth in emerging markets, and tariff preferences under new free trade agreements will still provide support. TPSO stated that it will continue to monitor the global trade situation and take multiple measures to enhance the long-term confidence and competitiveness of Thai exporters.
